Whenever I see a “rice my Arch #Linux w/hyprland” video, I’m like:
You think that’s badass? You should’ve tried getting X11 running on a Linux machine in the mid-90s. You needed your monitor & video card manuals & a calculator (seriously) so you could calculate “modelines” for your X11 config file.
If you got the math wrong you’d fry your monitor by driving it at too high a frequency (back then nearly all monitors were fixed-frequency).
Typing “startx” for the first time was *so* stressful.
